tsukineko's manga / #love triangle(84)

I got halfway through this before realising that I'd already read it. I still reread it 'til the end, though, lol. It was ok.

Apparently, this is a spon-off, but I don't know what of.

3.5 stars. This was actually beautifully written. I really like Tanabe. He had a tragic past, possibly because of which he was much more mature than the other 2. I was rooting for him to be the one chosen, but I think that his decision to put some distance between them, was the right one. This mangaka's works can be a bit hit and miss, but this is one of her better ones.

Love the old-school art.

3.5 stars. Nice art, but the simple lines made it a bit hard to tell some of the characters apart. The story itself was heartbreaking. So many feels, but that's a good thing. I like short stories that leave my nerves feeling jangled, (although I usually prefer them darker and more twisted). Imho, the open ending was definitely necessary in order to give this kind of impact, although I imagine that's the very reason it has such a low rating, smh. I'll reread this at some point.

Had a quick look at some of the h scenes - they look hot, and are well drawn.

People have commented that this is a masterpiece. Just glancing at some of the pages, I'm inclined to agree. I'm blown away by the expressiveness of the art! Also, the stories seem refreshingly unconventional, and beautifully told. Simple, expressive and moving.
